Quiz on monday will cover Lab 1 and Lab 2 lecture material. Email me or set up a time to chat if you have any questions.

Lecture notes:

- Genus & species nomenclature; also there are higher levels of organization, such as domain, family, etc.
- Eukaryote and Prokaryote classification (one has a nucleus, one does not have a membrane-bound nucleus)
- Classification of species based on ability to reproduce with another indivudual, and also on shared biological traits (behavioral, genetic, morphology, etc.).
- Species are "related" to one another if they share a common ancestor in their biological tree lineage, an ancestor which lived a long time ago.
- More to come by this friday.
